I've noticed this giant hole in my tonsil that's large enough for my finger to fit in, and I'm also dealing with a sore throat. It's really strange. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?

I'm dealing with a sore throat and dry mouth, and it gets worse when I wake up. I've tried proton pump inhibitors, so I don't think it's acid reflux since I didn't get any relief, plus I don't have heartburn or burps after meals. I've also noticed some numbness at the tip of my tongue. What could be causing these symptoms?

yes you can take

I've been having this issue with my throat for a while nowabout three months. Whenever I drink water, I get this weird pain, but it's totally fine when I swallow food. It's starting to really bother me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I could do to make it stop?

This is dysphagia to liquids which needs evaluatio,visit your ENT surgeon for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
